: “CM’s were vital to understanding the course” and “the CMassignments just confused me”. During the Fall 2002 semester, students struggled with thecrankshaft problem mentioned above. In response to student comments, we have decided toprovide them with a solution to a different homework problem using Excel. This problem is asimple rigid link rotating in space – very similar to the crankshaft. Provided a simple model to use Page 8.545.5for their own program, we hope that they will be more successful in the Spring semester.

This paper presents a critical evaluation of online developmental issuesin the context of current distance delivery methodologies.Background Online instruction is becoming an essential component of many academic programs,largely as a result of the World Wide Web and the proliferation of personal computers in officesand homes throughout the world.

Interactivecomputer based training (CBT) is used to accomplish this objective. The teaching toolboxfacilitates the promotion of learner-centered, knowledge-centered, assessment-centered, andcommunity-centered learning environments.

Learning has traditionally been a topic of research and instruction in computer science and computer engineering programs. Yet, due to its wide applicability in a variety of fields, its research use has expanded in other disciplines, such as electrical engineering, industrial engineering, civil engineering, and mechanical engineering. Currently, many undergraduate and first-year graduate students in the aforementioned fields do not have exposure to recent research trends in Machine Learning. This paper reports on a project in progress, funded by the National Science Foundation under the program Combined Research and Curriculum Development (CRCD), whose goal is to remedy this shortcoming. The project involves the development of a

Introduction:Engineering students taking their first class in Thermodynamics at the undergraduatelevel commonly fail to relate the theoretical aspects developed in class with the realworld. One method of bridging this gap is to integrate a laboratory into undergraduateclasses. This is usually expensive and time consuming, especially for classes that have60-100 students in which
